Notes

  • Here you go with this classic egg salad you just put some tomatoes and lettuce on top of them or just garnish it with some spring onions but I like it the classical way.
  • Make sure you don’t add too much of mayonnaise or so-called dressing just add enough to combine everything together.
  • This is the main difference between a good and a bad egg salad.
  • Enjoy this with some fresh loaf of white bread. Oh, that’s heavenly!
